    Yes, no issue at all, it just takes £3/£5 off at a time - the most I have used is 4 in one transaction.

    Ta for this, sadly no win today.

    Maybe a kind person would shout out a reminder every day - its the sort of little games the Elite do very well with :T

    There are often potential good comparisons on my list as various ones that are on 4 for £6 in A regularly go onto £1 price in M and that's dealt with my problem of losing Marstons 61 in M, that went to £1 there and then disappeared for me, as I can now remove it from my list (if indeed it's still there). I do not know whether it is still £1 in M, due to losing it. Shame it is not a visible trigger and does not compare itself against £1 M.

    Oh zippy so sorry to see that happen to you :(
    It is so easy to get carried away with mse
    I remember when I first joined and we had all those fantastic Tesco deals(dtd vouchers etc) and APGs I was literally obsessed, it was taking over my life and all I could see is how much free stuff I am getting. I was sharing the love and saving lots of money that we would spend on food but I do remember my ex complaining about how much time I am spending on the laptop and even tho he was spending lots of time playing computer games and in the end none of it was the reason we broke up it did cause some issues in our relationship...
    now I'm with my current BF I would not risk it for mse, I lurk every now and again but mostly when I'm on the bus or home alone
    And it's not just mse, it's so sad to see how people's lives nowadays are taken over by technology... couples in restaurants looking at their phones instead of talking, families with children who want nothing but screens...
    BF and I make an effort to put phones away when we are together, on holidays we leave them in the hotel room, we might not take lots of photos but we make memories and that's more important to us
    He was encouraging me to join mse again as I told him all the stories about free stuff but I know myself and as much as I love you guys I'm not going to risk my relationship, I impress him with a bargain every now and again but I'm lucky to not have to be mse
    As much as we loved free pizza(or five lol) we need to remember to put the loved ones in our lives first xxx

    Such a good post:)

    It's not purely a generational thing either. We ate out last night and at the table next to us, a middle aged couple spent most of the night looking at their phones.

    I wondered if they were texting each other:o

    I would be mortally offended if someone did that to me......this is certainly not aimed at you zippy.:A

    We must remember that we have a choice.....we can choose to leave our phones at home:)
